Re: Peso-Mallard Hen's Dilemma

[Jack Davis]

Hi, Igor,

When I first took a look at this image, the clarity inspired me to pull it up 
by probably 30%.
Was shot off-hand with the 55-300 at about 60ft(?)
Seeing that the enlargement seemed to hold up well, I proceeded to convert it 
to a jpg for posting.
Actually, I felt the Hen's speckled breast detail was especially detailed. 
Maybe I was a bit too
taken with the image in general ans should have stuck with the native image.

Thanks, again, for your comments!

Jack,

No, I meant the two front ducks (the 3rd one is also, but that's 
understandable, it's slightly outside of DOF.

I think I found a partial problem. For some reason,
Firefox shows the image at a slightly large size then what it is in 
reality. So, it is dynamically upscaling it. And that is likely resulting 
in the apparent softness. It is not happening in other browsers.
(I just realized, - my browser had some small zoom value, probably 110%.)

However, I still see that some parts of the two front ducks are not very 
sharp. E.g. the breast of the brown one is sort of blurred.
I am not sure if it is a motion blur, the resolution limitation of the 
lens, or a very narrow DoF. It might be a combination of several factors.
What was the focal length and the aperture for this shot?

It's a nice catch in any case!

Igor

It may be your browser, Igor.(?)
The image, as usual, looked
faintly dark when I checked "sent."
However I felt it to be razor sharp.

Have you seen Mallards mating?  She's going to get both of them - and any others

It's a nice catch and composition.

I don't know if it is my browser or what, but it looks softish.
I'd try to sharpen it a bit (or at least to apply "unsharp" filter or

BTW, the caption is misspelled. :)
